To all whom it 'may concern,.-

Be it known that I, SALEM A.

A is a base supporti ng theseat B and frame C.

D is a shaft having bearings in frame C, a gear-Wheel. E, and cranks Gand G on its ends.

F is a iiy-Wheel with gear attached, sup'- ported by stud in frame C,which extends up for that purpose,as shown by the dotted lines.

I is a lever hung at H and vat I connecting to the dasher of the churnJ, and has a con necting-rod, K, togive it motion from a crankpin inwheel F. On eachside, at L, is asupport or rest firmly secured to theframe or base for the operator to brace the feet against.

To operate the machine, the person sits on the seat B with the feet onthe rests L and takes a crank of D in each hand, which gives who is thusenabled to give the most power. y

I am aware that double cranks have been used for various purposes andwheels and levers ofvarious forms applied to churns. Therefore I do notclaim the particular forrn of any of the parts separately; but

What I do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
